In reply to Narissa Ventress. If you are teaching a child to say /s / in words should you start with initial /s words first ?!

In reply to Shirley. Hi Shirley! I'm so sorry your son is getting mocked in school. That is so heartbreaking to hear. I would recommend meeting with his teachers to discuss what is going on. You may also want to talk with his speech therapist (assuming he is in the speech program) so that she can also help offer tips to reduce and eliminate this teasing. Please let me know how things go. All the very best to you and your precious son.

In reply to sonam. Hi I don't know what city you ate in but if there is a university nearby with a "communication disorders" (speech therapy) program then you might be anle to get some therapy from them for free

In reply to pari. Hi Pari, This could be corrected with speech therapy. If you are motivated, it shouldn't take you long either!

Hi Heather!
Yes we are in UB and will be for a while. Interesting that you were here too as not many people are that familiar with Mongolia! I haven’t been addressing the frontal lisp with my son because I’m afraid of giving him a complex about it but it is still something that concerns me. I was wondering if you or someone you know could work with him via skype or Facetime. I Would be very interested in finding out if working that way is possible. Thanks!
Best,
Rob

In reply to Narcisa. Yes, you can use the "recast" which i describe above at the end of the post. You can also have her try copying you. Just keep it fun and light and praise her for trying!

Hi Rob! Did you know I have been to Mongolia twice! And my husband lived there for 3 years?? I actually got engaged in Mongolia in the one of their coldest winters! -40 I believe it was! Wow! So awesome that you are there! Are you in UB? Do you eat at UB Deli or Mimi’s Cafe? Such a beautiful and special country to me!
You can produce the correct sound for s/z using either tongue posture. You can try giving your son cues to try both positions while keep his teeth closed. it may also help to make sure the back teeth are stabilized by have him bite down on a popsicle stick while producing a correct s/z. Let me know how its going I’m so happy to help if I can!
